What we ask of each other

Seniority is not a shield

Nobody here hands a hearing to somebody the client has never met. That rule costs us volume and it is the reason clients stay for decades rather than for matters.

Own the file

The advocate who takes the first call drafts the pleadings and stands up in court. No file changes hands quietly.

Write it plainly

Every advice note is read by a colleague from outside the practice before it goes out. If they cannot follow it, the client will not either.

Teach the next one

Every partner carries a pupil. Two full days a month belong to them, and those days are not billable to anybody.

Answer inside a day

One working day to reply to any client, whatever it is about. It is measured, and it is discussed when it slips.

Pupillage here means your own files from month three and a partner who reads every draft. Applications open each September, and we answer all of them.
